Our Mission Statement – “Our mission is to observe the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ by following the example of our holy father, Saint Francis of Assisi and the beautiful example of our beloved Saint Clare of Assisi, who made Christ the inspiration of their lives, in a spirit of community, humility, adoration and compassion, mirroring Christ in our lives.”~~~~~~~~~~~By the Saint Joseph Cupertino Fraternity Council

“Servants of God, set the example! Preach by actions more than by words. Actions penetrate the heart, words slip by and are gone.” ~ Saint Joseph of Cupertino, OFM Conv.
